Family Foot and Ankle Associates of Maryland help patients improve the health of their feet with important foot and ankle health care tips

2013-06-09

OLNEY, MD, June 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) Leading podiatrists in Olney, Drs. Christopher Farnworth, Michael Frank and Marc Goldberg work together to provide their patients with exceptional foot and ankle health care. To help improve their patient's foot health, the Drs. at Family Foot and Ankle Associates of Maryland are available to provide important health tips. At. Family Foot and Ankle Associates, Drs. Farnworth, Frank and Goldberg work to educate patients about the importance of choosing proper fitting footwear all year long. These Olney, MD podiatrists inform their patients that serious foot disorders and common foot and ankle conditions can be avoided by wearing the right pair of shoes.

Properly fitted shoes pay off in the end for patients' feet - now and in the future. When looking for shoes, the most important quality to look for is durable construction that will protect the feet and keep them comfortable. Shoes that do not fit properly can cause heel pain in Olney, including bunions, corns, calluses, hammertoes and other disabling foot disorders.

"The first step towards healthy, happy feet is choosing proper footwear. An average day of walking brings a force that is equal to several hundred tons on your feet and is subject to more injury than any other part of your body. This shows just how important the need to protect your feet with proper footwear is," said Dr. Goldberg, foot doctor in Olney.

With a wide array of shoes available, it is important to consider variables such as foot type, durability and fit when making footwear selections. Whether patients are looking for high-mileage training shoes, a comfortable work shoe or a recreational shoe, it is vital to select a shoe that is tailored to a patient's individual needs.

Dr. Goldberg podiatrist in Olney, MD, advises women to take extra caution with wearing high heels. Women tend to inflict more punishment and pressure on their feet than anyone else. Improper footwear worn by many women can bring about unnecessary foot problems that could have easily been avoided. To relieve the harmful effects of wearing heels, women can limit the time that they wear them, or eliminate them altogether.

The best shoes for men are an oxford style shoe, which are ordinarily associated with wing-tip or cap toe designs. Additionally, slip-ons, dressy loafers and low dress boots are also suitable shoes for men to wear. As you can see, though, the styles that men are capable of wearing are indeed different than those women should be wearing. Both men and women should buy specific shoes for work, leisure, and special activities. The shoes should match the intended activity.

Additionally, patients can receive valuable information on proper footwear, as well as other foot and ankle topic information via the educational library. Patients can access the education library via the practice's homepage. From orthotics in Olney to bunion treatment, patients can visit the patient education library for valuable information on taking proper care of their feet.

To schedule an appointment, patients can either call (301) 924-5044 or use the practice's online appointment scheduler. To use this, patients can simply navigate to the online scheduler on the website and choose the practice location that is closest to them. After this, a list of available appointment times will appear and patients simply have to choose the time that works best for them.

How do immune cells detect infections?

2013-06-08

How do immune cells manage to sort through vast numbers of similar-looking proteins within the body to detect foreign invaders and fight infections? "For immune cells, singling out foreign proteins is like looking for a needle in a haystack – where the needle may look very much like a straw, and where some straws may also look very much like a needle," notes McGill University physics professor Paul François. Understanding how immune cells tackle this formidable challenge is important, because it could provide crucial insights into the understanding of immune diseases, ...

This means in this area there are fewer human values or commercial timber and fire is generally allowed to play its natural, beneficial ...

PD-like sleep and motor problems observed in α-synuclein mutant mice

2013-06-08

Amsterdam, NL, 7 June 2013 – The presence of Lewy bodies in nerve cells, formed by intracellular deposits of the protein α-synuclein, is a characteristic pathologic feature of Parkinson's Disease (PD). In the quest for an animal model of PD that mimics motor and non-motor symptoms of human PD, scientists have developed strains of mice that overexpress α-synuclein. By studying a strain of mice bred to overexpress α-synuclein via the Thy-1 promoter, scientists have found these mice develop many of the age-related progressive motor symptoms of PD and demonstrate ...

Large-scale biodiversity is vital to maintain ecosystem health

2013-06-08

Over the years ecologists have shown how biological diversity benefits the health of small, natural communities. New analysis by ecologists at UC Santa Cruz demonstrates that even higher levels of biological diversity are necessary to maintain ecosystem health in larger landscapes over long periods of time. Think of it as patches on a quilt, says Erika Zavaleta, UCSC associate professor of environmental studies. Each patch may be a diverse habitat of plants, animals, and insects but it is equally important that the landscape "quilt" is made up of a diversity of patches ...
